Episode 13 - Self Identification?

Transgender Debate?

Is the legal change to the legislation called the Gender Recognition Act of 2004 that is currently being proposed in the UK really only about paperwork? Should we allow absolutely anyone to self-declare that the law should pretend they were born in the opposite sex? Why are feminists against self-identification? What could these changes mean to us in practice, and how might we be able to talk about actual biological sex? Have we thought about potential consequences of such a system?
